Community Sports Coaching in Cape Town, South Africa

Location

South Africa: Cape Town

Program Summary

Participate in a community sports coaching project in Cape Town, South Africa, with Kaya Responsible Travel. In 1994, post-Apartheid, the South African government removed Physical Education from the school curriculum, which led to a reduction in student involvement in physical activity. Sports is seen as an integral part of youth development and helps to increase concentration and develop crucial skills, such as leadership, team work, and communication. Without intervention, this would not be available to children of the townships. Extracurricular programs have also been established to provide youth with a means to get off the street and engage in physical activity.
